Strike!

He stands
 In the form so total
 Even Gods are watching in awe
 Essence of calm pure concentration
 And perfect void of the mind
 Everything
 From the years of training
 Will array in a technique pure
 Years dancing with steel we'll see
 WHAT HE HAS BEEN LIVING FOR!
 RISE UP!
 And see beyond the eyes
 RISE UP!
 And gain the focus which
 Gives no room for ties
 Sound hands
 Holding the blade
 Eyes fixed to his grip inferior
 Roar of the battle
 Withers to a silent clatter
 TIME
 Slows down to motion
 Where stir of the dust can be seen
 One year - a second
 In this moment of
 BLOODY SCENE
 And he moves...
 With the swift pace unrivaled
 Unseen by the aspirants' eyes
 And he knows
 In his heart so unbridled
 That he'll soon execute
 The flawless
 STRIKE!
 STRIKE!
 STRIKE!
 Through the laws earthly
 BREAK THEM!
 STRIKE!
 With the power of a content mind
 First
 The silence breaks yet time stands still
 He flows
 Through the air
 Through the adversary's form
 THROUGH ENEMY'S FRAME
 Perfect execution
 Leaving in scorn
 Halved shadow of a man
 Startled confusion
 Starting to breed
 In the midst of the horde
 And he moves
 With the swift pace unrivaled
 Unseen by the aspirants' eyes
 And he knows
 In his heart so unbridled
 That he'll soon execute
 The flawless
 STRIKE!
 STRIKE!
 STRIKE!
 Through the laws eathly
 BREAK THEM!
 STRIKE!
 With the power of a content mind
